National Records That Could Go Down In Boys Events In 2018

Noah Lyles owns this record and it stands at 20.09 from the 2016 season. The sprint professional, now with adidas, has continued on his trajectory as a potential Olympic hopeful heading into 2020. 

Closest Overall: Roy Martin, Dallas Roosevelt (TX), 20.13, 1985

Closest in 2018: Anthony Schwartz, American Heritage (FL), 20.47 (+1.3)

Prediction: This record is safe. No current high schooler has the capacity to drop a sub-20 time. We think.
